That's one of the many reasons self-reg is evil 
: If a DLL 
has dependencies on something being installed, it might fail. The CRT 
libraries are installed in the side-by-side cache which takes effect 
only when the install is committed, which is too late for self-reg.

[WiX-users] VC CRT redistributables & WIX

[dB.]

I am having the following issue: I try to redistribute the Visual Studio
CRT MSMs with my wix installer. 

 

   

   

   

   

 

  

   

   

   

   

  

 

The merge modules install just fine according to the log. But the DLL
registration within the same installer (SelfRegCost=1) fails. If I try
to regsvr32 those DLLs from command line at the same time, that
succeeds. If I pre-install these merge modules the registration succeeds
as well. The same merge modules added into an InstallShield installer
don't seem to exhibit this problem.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thx

dB.
